October Tips of the Month: How Do I Know
if I Have a Drinking Problem?
Chances are, if you are asking the
question, you have a drinking problem, but here are some
other factors:
-
Inability to control your drinking -- it
seems that regardless of what you decide beforehand you
frequently wind up drunk.
-
Using alcohol to escape your problems.
-
Changing from your usual reserved
character into the "life of the party."
-
A change in personality -- does drinking
turn you from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde?
-
A high tolerance level -- you can drink
just about everybody under the table.
-
Blackouts -- sometimes you don't remember
what happened when you were drinking.
-
Problems at work or in school as a result
of drinking.
-
Concern shown by your family and friends
about your drinking.
If you have drinking problem, or if
you suspect you have a drinking problem, there are many
others out there like you, and there is help available. Talk
to a school counselor, a friend, or a parent.
